Caught between an ever-sensible but exhausted mother and a DIY-obsessed father fighting his own demons, Christopher takes refuge in words. His parents try to understand their son's peculiar obsessions, but fast lose patience with him - and each other. The war of nerves escalates to include every member of the Fowler family, and something has to give, but does it mean that a boy must always give up his dreams for the tough lessons of real life? Beautifully written, this rich and astute evocation of a time and a place recalls a childhood at once entertainingly eccentric and endearingly ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Fowler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64838579683677,"sku":"9780553820096","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1074\/9358\/9341\/files\/9780553820096.jpg?v=1780055923","url":"https:\/\/adventureintobooks.co.uk\/products\/9780553820096","provider":"Adventure Into Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
